Pain
Pain and panic, two lost
Souls stuck in the underworld
Lament their bleak fates

​

Uninterested 
Color me the color of
An uninterested grey
Not a drop of rain

​

Yellow
Lemon scented smells
Taste of sunny cloudless skies
Against yellow stars

​

Haircut
I must part with you
All of you my curly hairs
Time for a haircut

​

Night
The cicadas’ song
A midsummer’s eve nocturne
No longer; a quiet night

​

Puzzled
The pre-mirror’d child
Puzzled by the symbolic 
Order, eats its toes

​

Sun
Monochromatic
Sunless sights in the dead world
Is this purgatory?

​

Selfish
You claim I am the
Most selfish person you’ve met.
Have you looked inward?

​

Swing
Swing goes the wood bat
Swing goes the school playground swing
Swing goes the swingers' club

​

Hide
Run run run (fast fast)
Hide hide hide (quickly quickly)
Manic gingerbread man.

​

Gold
24k 
Au. 79. Shiny.
Marx’ golden standard.

​

Friend
Count me not among
Your friends, you who have cast me,
Bait’d, to go fish

​

Next
Next time I will count
The lines in the sunset-red
Powerlines at dusk

​

Uncovered
Cold winters in the north
Warm sheets, in a comfy bed.
Uncover’d I die.

​

Clever
How clever were these?
Did you like them at all, friends?
I’m not sure my thoughts.
